On the left you get the large Play/Pause button and a smaller volume control button.Īround the left hand side you have an indicator light. On the right you have a large ‘Call Button’ and a smaller power button. The rest of the design of the Backbeat fit, in terms of button placement, is completely the same. The Plantronics Backbeat Fit are the best at this, and they also allow you to have a conversation without taking them out of your ears. Whether you want Noise Cancelling or not is up to you, but when going for a run I like to be aware of my surroundings and any traffic if I have to cross roads, or bikes coming up behind me on a bike path. Sound quality is good for music or podcasts, it’s not high fidelity sound but it is good. On my older pair of Backbeat Fit I found the volume to be a little low, but it appears this is resolved in this version. Plantronics call this an ‘open eartip’ design which lets you stay aware of your surroundings. The ear tips swivel for better sound, but the earbuds are designed not to completely block out noise around you. This makes for a better fit, and overall better sound quality getting into your ears. The change in design allows you to point the speaker holes more directly into your ear canal. Plantronics when they updated the headset has made the earpieces able to swivel in this latest version. If you use them to go for a run, or a gym session I barely noticed this. The rigidity of the form factor is the only downfall for these earphones with the over-ear piece sometimes rubbing the top of your ears if you wear them for extended (say greater than 5-6 hours) periods of time. The rubber shell encasing the earphones goes over your ears, and the joining cable actually has enough rigidity to sit slightly off the back of your head as it wraps around. The form factor on the Plantronics Backbeat Fit is a little more rigid than most other sports Bluetooth earphones on the market. You can also use one of the dozens of 1A/5V chargers you probably have lying around the house to charge them as well. There’s no charger included in the package, you simply plug these guys into a USB port on your PC and you’re charging. It’s a pretty simple package, there’s the Backbeat Fit headset itself, a quick start manual (in a variety of langauges), Safety information card, and of course a small microUSB charging cable.
